Abstract: The container for packaging is made from a thermoplastic plastic and is coated in the region of the inner surface thereof, such that a release of components contained within the plastic into the product packed in the container is prevented or at least significantly reduced. The coating can be applied by means of a plasma coating. The device for the production of preforms and the method for production of containers is essentially based on a direct coupling of a reactor for production of the plastic to an injection moulding device for the production of preforms. The preforms are then moulded to give the container by a blow forming process and the inner surface thereof is then provided with the coating.
